an extraordinary Cafe of Dropfy. Avs 
from Saran Kiprus. The one loft 1920, the other 6631. 
it muft be confeffed, however, that Lady Pace collected fafter 
than the poor woman whofe cafe I have related. 
I come now to {peak of the diffection, and to make fome 
obfervations on the whole. On the roth of Auguft 1783, the 
poor woman died; and the following day Dr. Dacx, an emi- 
nent phyfician of this place, accompanied me to open. the body. 
I firft drew off 78 pints of clear water: fuppofing, therefore, 
all the water to have been taken away at the laft operation, 
then in three weeks fhe had collected 78 pints, which is more 
than three pints and a halfin each day : a quantity far exceeding 
what fhe had taken. I then opened into the cavity from which 
the water came, and feparated the fac from the peritoneum, 
and found the fac had arifen in the ovarium of the left fide. 
After this, I diffeéted out the uterus, with the right ovarium 
in a natural ftate, and thus obtained every part neceffary to 
fhow the difeafe, vzz. the uterus, the right ovarium found, and 
the left enlarged into an immenfe pouch. The cyft itfelf was 
not very thick, but lined in almoft every part of it, but more 
efpecially in the fore part, with {mall offifications. The peri- 
toneum was prodigioufly thickened, and thus, by its additional 
ftrength, became the chief fupport of the water. There was 
fomething fingular in the fac itfelf, for it was rather two than 
one, from there being an opening in the fide of what appeared 
at firft the only cavity, which led to another cavity, almoft 
equally large with the firft, fo that if all the water in any ope- 
ration had not been evacuated, it muft probably have been 
owing toa difficulty in its paflage from the fecond into the 
firft or more external cyft. From the fize, however, of the 
poor woman after each operation, it is evident, that in her 
there being two facs did not prevent the total drawing oft of
